From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

I'm gonna be honest i really love this story. the plot is a bit predictable at times, but it's miles better than a lot of the other stories i've read

It's good. As someone who hadnt really listened to kpop, I was contemplating whether to read this or not but I'm glad I did. This the type of fun fluff novel you can read in your downtime and have fun reading it. The plot while sometimes predictable is still good. Not a masterpiece in any way but def abv avg.

This is some f*ck*ng b*llsh*t, too f*ck*ng repetitive, as of chapter 238. June got upper hand then suddenly he got cornered like a lost child and then f*ck*ng win again, bs story line and "gangster" is not doing any sh*t, just being humiliated and even after being in a new body, his "Genius Protagonist" is really an intellectual of a child 😮‍💨😔

I like this story. To be honest, this is my first Showbiz story and I already like it, the writing style is good, but I don't like the drama in this novel a little, it feels like repeated. But the description of the stage really made me like it, very detailed and emotional. Overall it's good, btw I'm still on chapter 230 i and hope the story gets better, even though it's actually good. *Sorry, my English is bad.

Ch 230 review: This story is a rags to riches reborn as an idol story following June. I know lots of people were saying that this was similar but worse than debut or die, but I’ve not read that story so this is just gonna be a review of this story without any outside influence. Now in my opinion, I really enjoyed reading this. There are some darker, more disgusting elements to this book but each mission is very emotionally impactful and it’s one of the best aspects of the story so far. Similarly, the emotional aspects can hit really hard at times. However, the opposite can also be argued for. It feels like some of the characters, especially the antagonists, are less well written. They don’t seem to gain any character development, and all of them are pretty similar, mainly being narcissistic, arrogant, with fragile egos. The plot is also a bit repetitive, but with how emotionally charged certain scenes are it doesn’t take away too much from the quality of the story. Besides that thought, the story is very enjoyable to read. If you like idol stories about overcoming the odds then this would probably be for you, but if you’re looking for intricate plots with multi-faceted, multi-dimensional characters then this story probably isn’t for you.

The novel was good and yes he does debut. dropped just a few chapters later. The author must hate his protagonist or something, it’s just one thing after another and keeps going back to his life as a thug and the reason he transmigrated. It’s really annoying and frankly I came for an idol novel not this nonsense that the author is writing to make things harder for no real reason on the protagonist. Reading the comments it seemed like a lot of people considered dropping or have dropped at the same point as I have. Hopefully this review will help someone down the line.

really like the mc June, his motivational speeches are everything😂 I like where the plot is heading, there's every aspect a show biz/ idol book should have.

this type of cool protagonist. He is so good, but I kinda feel weird for development of some side characters(maybe just me tho). Sorry June, although I like your character but I think 'Debut or Die's story is better. for me it's 8/10, recommended.

This is a good novel even it may not be everyone’s cup of tea because the main character isn’t the genius mc I thought he was but it’s still good though because the story compensate it

Pretty decent story, has a lot of funny and few emotional scenes. Though a quick trigger warning for some, MC gets in trouble due to his horrendous luck and this clique gets used 90% on this novel sooo yeaa
